Everything all of the sudden went to hell, glitches and bugs

Post » Fri Oct 26, 2012 9:30 am

Okay, I am really, really annoyed for the first time in Skyrim. Many bugs I can chew and adept to, it's cool, I don't mind if some NPC will be glitched in map so I have to use youtube guide or reload 3 hours backwards just to start everything again. I don't mind being glitched in the wall for some reason only known to Bethesda, nor I care for 100 random glitches/bugs/issues who are very known to us all, and whom I wont mention for the millionth time.

But since I had some update for Xbox Live yesterday, I can't play Skyrim properly anymore. I try to sneak up to a dragon, and my character starts randomly doing rolls on the floor, doesn't matter what I press, be it unsheat, jump, forward, shout, attack... It doesn't matter what I do, he just keeps rolling like hes trolling me. Than I somewhat get up, ofcourse dragon notices me, but I keep running in one spot. Okay. I reload, blah blah, but no, it keeps happening. So I decided to leave that dragon, even tho he has a Wall behind him, but yeah, who needs shouts.
So I tried to sneak uppon other dragon... 7 hells. Same thing, like my char got hit in the head by something really heavy, just rolling, lollygagging, doing nothing I press. I figured, perhaps it's a bug with my weapon? So I switch from my crossbow, to bow, but hell no, same thing happens over and over again. I changed armour, I cleaned up my old save files, removed many things from inventory, prayed to Talos himself, no, nothing, my char appears to have mental issues. :yuck:

I decided not to use sneak anymore, even tho I am an assassin thief with 100 sneak, but yeah, who needs sneaking? So I switched back to my crossbow, and went to fight with a dragon. That really got me annoyed. My arrows, lagging as 7 hells, I shoot at dragon, nothing happens even tho I am in point blank. Than, my character holds onto a crossbow after I shoot like he is preparing to shoot again, even tho I didn't hold my shooting button. It slows me down, I can't run. So there we go, I'll just try to sheathe crossbow, but HAH! YOU CAN'T SHEATHE! Why? Because! Just because! So my Dovahkiin just keeps acting like a [censored], and dragon keeps chewing me save by save. :stare:
I try to use shouts, nothing. I try to use resto healing. Nothing. Than I switch my shout from Mark to Etheral just to stay alive, but nothing happens for 10 seconds, than all of the sudden he does Fus Ro Dah, even tho I didn't even have that shout on active, nor I used it for last 2 hours.
And all of the sudden, I hear like 10x crossbow shots and I see like few bolts on the floor in front of me. :swear:


UHHHHH!! I don't know, this never ever happened before, but now whenever I fight with dragons, feels like my whole console and Skyrim itself are trolling me, it doesn't matter what I do, it keeps being stupid and does whatever it wants. I tried other characters, even my main! Same thing, dragons either got mindcontrol, or my Dovahkiin gets chickened out, I don't know what is going on, but I really can't fight no dragons anymore at all :(
I googled, I searched, nothing. Seems like it's my luck, nobody has this issue.
But oh well, does anyone of you have any idea, advice, experience, anything when it comes to this? Please do share anything helpful, because at this rate I don't know if I'll keep playing Skyrim if I am not able to do one of the most important things in Skyrim - Killing dragons. :sadvaultboy:

Well, I did get away of this one at last. I see noone responded but I'll take it as nobody knew what to do about it. Anyhow, if anyone ever runs into a similar glitch on Xbox Live, do this (assuming you got Dawnguard + Heartfire);

1. Go to System in Xbox Live.
2. Delete all DLC you got for Skyrim.
3. Start the game normally.
4. If it works fine, just download DLC again, and it should be fine.

I don't know how did I cause this to happen at the first place, but I noticed it was all triggered by crossbows. They are still somewhat buggy to me (or it might just seem), but yeah, at least dragon fights work normally now.

Sounds like some kind of invalidation crap you got while updating. On Steam PC, there's this "archive validation" option or something. Don't know if Xbox has that, could be faster than re-dling all the DLCs.

Not sure if Xbox has that. But yeah, your version would defenatly work better when it comes to PC.
